The Bodyguard System

The four mutants from the government looked at the security guards in front of them with a hint of apprehension in their eyes.

Just by looking at these security guards, they could immediately tell that all of them were mutants. They were not sure about the combat strength of these mutants in front of them, but it was definitely not that simple.

After all, not just anybody could give them the feeling that they were getting. It was clear to them that this group of people in front of them was definitely strong, at least stronger than the ordinary mutants that they had encountered so far.

The leading mutant went ahead and took out his ID. The ID was for the special mutant unit, in which all the mutants that had joined the government were part of.

At the same time as he showed his ID, he said, "We are from the government. We are here for an investigation, and we would like to ask for your cooperation."

The other mutants behind him also followed suit, as they took out their IDs. As for the security guards, they were surprised when they heard that this group was actually from the government.

But then again, they suddenly became cautious. After all, it was not long ago that Jaden had been here, and he had assisted them, giving them the information about the situation within the world.

If not for Jaden, they would definitely have had it difficult by now. After all, if they had not been exposed to the rain for quite a long time, the abilities that they would have gained later on would have definitely been weaker.

They were not sure about the reason why these four people were here, but in case they were here to cause any trouble, as the security guards of this area, they would definitely not hesitate to act. That was even if this group in front of them was part of the government.

At this moment, they already understood that the government was not something that was going to last for long. After all, with people gaining power randomly, it was impossible for the government to be able to restrain all of them.

And to be able to do that, they would have to gain the loyalty of all the mutants, or the majority of the mutants within the nation, before they could finally stabilize the situation. But even if they did that, what about the mutants that were coming from other nations?

"May I know what kind of investigation you want to carry out, and who it is that you want to get the information about?" The captain of the security asked.

The four mutants from the government were obviously not impressed by the fact that they were being questioned by the security guards. But they understood the current situation.

Currently, considering that the other party were also mutants, they definitely had the ability to question them, especially considering that they themselves were the ones that had trespassed into the other party's turf.

Regardless, the leading mutant simply stated, "This is something important, a matter of national security. In fact, as long as we get the results out of this, this is something that is going to help the entire world."

The security guards squinted their eyes as they looked at the four mutants in front of them. They had already verified the identities, and even though this was the first time that they were hearing about that department, they could see that it was legitimate.

Some things just could not be faked. And the identity cards that these four people were having were obviously real.

After thinking for a while, the captain decided that it would be better for this group to meet with Clifford. He could not make a decision, especially if it was true about what the man in front of him had said.

But still, he had to make sure that these four did not have any ill intentions. Even though Clifford and the rest of the Johnson family were mutants at this moment, that did not imply that all of them possessed combat capabilities.

So, if it turned out that the four people in front of him were enemies, and they launched a sneak attack, then things would definitely go downhill.

"Then follow me." The captain of the security guards said, before turning around and leading the way towards the mansion.

The leading mutant nodded, before following behind the security guard. The other security guards immediately surrounded the four, making sure that they did not do anything that was suspicious.

After they reached the entrance of the mansion, the captain informed them that they should wait outside, as he informed Clifford about the situation. The four immediately agreed, and a little while later, the security guard came together with Clifford.

Just like the captain of the security guards, Clifford was also cautious. What Jaden had informed him was the fact that currently, he should not trust anybody blindly. After all, considering that people were gaining power, they could change their minds and hearts at any moment.

And right now, Clifford was not willing to expose his family to danger. That was the reason why he decided to come outside personally, accompanied by the family butler, Steven.

"May I know the reason for your visit?" The moment that he got out of the mansion, Clifford asked. He did not even bother to ask for the identities, as he understood that at the moment, those identities really did not matter.

"We are here for an investigation. There is a person that we are looking for, and according to the intel that we have on us, we know that he had been here, working as a bodyguard for your daughter.

We would like to know about his whereabouts, as this is a matter of great urgency. Just to let you know, it concerns the security of the entire nation, spreading to the world as a whole, as long as we succeed in our endeavor." The leader of the mutants explained.

The moment that he said those words, Clifford's heart could not help but skip a beat. But his expression did not change, as he was already used to such situations in the business world.

This moment, his mind was already spinning. He was not sure about the reason why this group of people was looking for Jaden, but he understood one thing. There was a big chance that Jaden was involved with the phenomena that was happening all over the world at this moment.

The probability was quite low, but it was their nonetheless. That implied that if Jaden did something that was considered as a crime, they would definitely be hunting for him.

But then again, he thought about the situation where Jaden came to help them in order to be able to identify what abilities they had, and the best methods of controlling them.

Could it be that this was the reason why they were looking for him? Could it be that they wanted to find Jaden, so that he could assist them in controlling their own abilities?

As the possibilities of the reason why these for people came continued rolling in his mind, Clifford finally spoke.

He said, "I know who you are talking about. I do believe that you are talking about Jaden, considering that he is the only person that became my daughter's bodyguard, at least for a good amount of time.

But I'm afraid that I don't really know about where he is. It has already been several months ever since we last saw him, and we cannot contact him."

Clifford understood that he could not lie that he did not know about Jaden. Since these people were from the government, it was clear that they already possessed the information about the entire Johnson family.

Even though it was true that he did not really know about the current location that Jaden was in, even if he actually knew about it, he would not say it.

Jaden had already done them a favor that had saved their lives several times already. If not for Jaden informing them to be exposed to the rain, they would not have gained the abilities that they already had.

Additionally, if Jaden had not taught them how to use their abilities, they might have ended up with unnecessary casualties. That was something that was currently going on around the world, with people ending up killing their own friends and other people close to them accidentally.

The leader of the mutants looked at Clifford with a scrutinizing gaze. But no matter how much he looked, he realized that he could not find anything suspicious on Clifford.

"Then, I really have a question. Do you believe that Jaden is a mutant? No, I should ask it like this, is Jaden a mutant? You should know about that, right?" The leader asked once again, leading to a change of expression on Clifford's face.

That was something that was obviously noted by the leading mutant, but he did not say anything, and just continued observing Clifford.

Clifford on the other hand realized what had happened. And knowing that he could not hide his reaction anymore, he simply let out a deep sigh.

Then he said something that made not only the four mutants to frown, but even the security guards could not understand. "Would you believe me if I tell you that I don't really know if he is a mutant or not? Simply put, I am not sure if he is a mutant, or if he Is not. Maybe he is even more than just a mutant."
